“It’s an opportunity to do something that a lot of people don’t do or will ever do, so that’s awesome,” Cashman told the newspaper. “It’s called living.

Cashman is no rookie when it comes to daredevil stunts. He has rappelled down buildings during the holidays to raise money for charity in recent years.

And, of course, being the GM of the Yankees never comes without risks.

“It’s harder probably to be GM of the Yankees than jump out of an airplane,” Cashman joked to the Daily News.
